You should note the date on that article (April 3rd). Kay Sievers rights have been reinstated by Linus.

It's also important to note that the issue was with Sievers specifically and not with systemd. As Linus said "[...] you don't fix problems in the code you write [...]".

But as Kay is a systemd developer, IMHO it is interesting. Read Linus mail: http://lkml.iu.edu//hypermail/linux/kernel/1404.0/01331.html

eg, "[...] But I'm not willing to merge something where the maintainer is known to not care about bugs and regressions and then forces people in other projects to fix their project."

I can't talk about systemd, but I had to deal with pulseaudio issues as developer of a third party project and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Kay is not involved with PA in any way, but I remember PA developers blaming Ubuntu because of their PA integration.

Yes, it is probably me seeing things here as result of my own frustrations, but I wouldn't like to experience a similar situation with systemd.
